SCRUMCENTER

Sustainable Success

ScrumCenter is an agile methods consultancy based in London, UK and Berlin, Germany with clients in the UK, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic and France. Every client has different requirements but often our engagement includes looking at the business case for agile, designing and delivering custom training for business and technical staff, coaching and mentoring.

Engagement

With experience of many different types of projects and our deep understanding of what it takes to create highly motivated, engaged, high-performance teams, we can help your teams to achieve their potential and produce great results for your organisation.

High-performance

There is a world of difference between Scrum "out of the book" and "speed" Scrum. Our training and coaching is based on experience gathered over many years helping organisations small, medium and large to transition to agile methods. We will help you get to "speed" Scrum faster by avoiding the pitfalls and focussing on the key success factors.

Agile Transformation Services

We have in-depth experience helping organisations to transition to agile and have taken a leading role in some of the largest and most successful agile adoptions in Europe. Every client is different but there is a common factor - our mission is to help you to develop your own agile capability.

Agile Assessment

We work with you and your teams to create a common understanding of the current issues within your organisation. We use interviews combined with a retrospective to help teams, managers and others reflect on the current state of the organisation, formulate goals for the transition and to take ownership of their future.

We produce a comprehensive report with recommendations on next steps.

Consulting, Training & Coaching

A combination of consulting, training and coaching follows, customized to meet your needs. This includes training aimed at ScrumMasters, Product Owners and managers.

We will help you roll-out agile within your organisation at a sustainable pace.

We commit ourselves to helping you to develop your organisation's own agile capability through "coach the coaches" and "train the trainers" activities.

Health Check

Several months into a typical engagement we return and help you and your organisation to reflect on progress made and to discover opportunities for improvement.

Certified ScrumMaster

This two-day CSM course provides an introduction to Scrum, focussed on the role of the ScrumMaster. It will deepen your understanding of the principles and practices of Scrum. It will help you to understand the prerequisites for starting Scrum and the changes in an organization that are necessary for sustainable success with Scrum.

The course is ideal for soon to be or already practicing ScrumMasters. It is also suitable for team members who want a deeper understanding of Scrum than is possible with a shorter course.

On successful completion of the course and after passing an online test, participants will be awarded the title "Certified ScrumMaster" and receive a two-year membership of the Scrum Alliance.

Certified Scrum Product Owner

The two-day CSPO course is focussed on the role of the Product Owner. The role of the product owner is different from that of a project manager or product manager. The product owner has the overall responsibility for the success of the product and works closely with the development team.

Our CSPO course leverages techniques from lean-startup and innovation games to provide product owners with a powerful set of tools to drive innovation and maximise end-customer delight. It is suitable for existing or future product owners, product managers and business analysts.

On successful completion of the course, participants will be awarded the title "Certified Scrum Product Owner" and receive a two-year membership of the Scrum Alliance.

Certified Scrum Developer

The CSD programme is aimed at development team members (primarily testers and programmers).

The core of the CSD programme is a three-day agile development practices (ADP) course that teaches development team members what they need to know to turn product backlog items intro a product reliably and effectively. During this practice oriented course team members learn and apply a full set of agile development practices including automated acceptance testing, test driven development, refactoring, continuous integration and pair programming.

To qualify for the title "Certified Scrum Developer" participants need a total of five days of training — two days in addition to the ADP course. CSM covers this requirement..

Radical Management in Practice

In this intensive, interactive two-day executive education workshop, you will learn how to get beyond the rigidities of traditional management and acquire the breakthrough capabilities involved in making the entire organization agile. You will learn how to implement the elements of radical management as an integrated whole so as to get extraordinary results for your organisation, your customers and your workforce.
